    C++17 Run-time polymorphism (type erasure) library

  • And if it were in the standard there wouldn't be at least five well known libraries implementing it (including from Adobe and from Facebook): https://github.com/boost-ext/te#similar-libraries

    As far as I know (I don't really follow the committee work) the latest attempt to introduce run-time duck-typing in the standard was https://github.com/andyprowl/virtual-concepts, which seems dead.

  • virtual-concepts

    A research project aimed at introducing language support for type erasure in C++.
